I see the Scandal-wearing woman's shoes and handbook and can even guess what she had for breakfast (soft-boiled egg, black coffee in cracked but beautiful spode cup). Thank you.

Thanks, Angela, for your retrospective. I adore and wear many of these scents!

It would be so interesting to see our lives today from a distance of 70 years--hip-hop music, the last days of splurging on oil, the boom of the internet, Johnny Depp (timeless). Perfume-wise, it's hard to say what will shake out. I so much agree with your remark that life is like a “parabolic curve”, and I wonder where we are now?

Thank you very much. 1933 was the year when my aunt left Germany to Switzerland for ever. She would return sporadically for visits after the war, but never to live there again. the early thirties were a turning point, quite easily detectable looking back; in a sense it is like a parabolic curve...you need to go beyond the turning point to realize that it indeed was a turning point. I find it thrilling that there, at these turning points in history there happens such much in art, too. Thank you for this food for thought. What a wonderful and thoughtful post.

Isn't life strange and beautiful how it unrolls? Thank you for your comment! I love this story–and I love how Sous le Vent still lingers on the christening gown over the generations.

My grandfather found a job ten days after the lucky baby was born -- their first -- fixing typewriters at an upstate New York college for women, a college that, I, his granddaughter, would later attend to complete the cycle. My grandmother wore Sous le Vent, which lingers yet on my father's Christening gown, which I have kept with my own. 1933 was the year my Dad was born, to parents who immigrated during the height of the depression.

I've bought samples from Patty before, and it was, of course, a terrific experience, but I'm one of those techno-slugs who doesn't even have a paypal account set up yet. I'll have to change that.

I've never had a problem with my sample purchases, and you can buy a little one for $5... there's a buttery (?) aspect to the angelica, and when that came on strong it nauseated me. The rest of the time it's a great incense. PS Forgot to add — the Creed they sell all over eBay in samples.

Kind of like Marlene herself. I'll have to get started tracking down a sample of it. And I'm so sorry about the Scandal, I probably would have held the bottle upside down and wept.
